• Why is Learning English is so Important?

• English is the language of science, of aviation, computers, diplomacy, and tourism.

Knowing English increases your chances of getting a good job in a multinational
company within your home country or for finding work abroad. It’s also the
language of international communication, the media and the internet, so learning
English is important for socialising and entertainment as well as work!

Let’s look at the top 4 reasons why studying English is so important:

• 1. English is the Language of International Communication

English may not be the most spoken language in the world, but it is the official
language of 53 countries and spoken by around 400 million people across the
globe. Being able to speak English is not just about being able to communicate
with native English speakers, it is the most common second language in the world.
If you want to speak to someone from another country then the chances are that
you will both be speaking English to do this.
• The British Council projects that by 2020 two billion people in the world will be
studying English. Learning English is important as it enables you to communicate
easily with your fellow global citizens. When you study English at ELC schools, you
will be making friends with people from lots of different countries, using English as
your common language!

• 2. English is the Language of Business
• English is the dominant business language and it has become almost a
necessity for people to speak English if they are to enter a global
workforce. Research from all over the world shows that cross-border
business communication is most often conducted in English and many
international companies expect employees to be fluent in English.

• Global companies such as Airbus, Daimler-Chrysler, Fast Retailing, Nokia,

Renault, Samsung, SAP, Technicolor, and Microsoft in Beijing, have
mandated English as their official corporate language. In addition, in 2010
the company Rakuten, a Japanese cross between Amazon and eBay, made
it mandatory for their 7,100 Japanese employees to be able to speak
English.

• The importance of learning English in the international marketplace

cannot be understated - learning English really can change your life.
